2 large onions diced

½ cup wine (white or red)

250g Beef Stock salt reduced

2 x 400g canned tomatoes diced

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon marjoram dried

1 teaspoon oregano dried

4 cloves garlic crushed

300g Dried Lasagne Sheets

White Sauce

3 tablespoons plain flour

500g Low Fat Milk, heated for 1 min in microwave

2 tablespoons 80% Reduced Fat Dairy Spread (we used Devondale)

150g Low Fat Grated Cheese

First, you will need to preheat your oven to around 180C. Use a large sauce pan to heat Olive Oil and add some onions. Keep it on low heat around 10-15 minutes, to sauté until softened.

Add mince to onions and keep stirring with a wooden spoon until the content gets brown. Add some garlic, herbs, pepper stock and wine once browned.

Add sugar and the tinned tomatoes. Stir occasionally and simmer on low heat for around 30 minutes.

Use a saucepan on low heat and place reduced fat dairy spread for the Cheese Sauce. Add pepper, flour, and stir for around 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
